A homeless man was found dead in a dilapidated garage in Hempstead Tuesday morning, Hempstead Village police said.

Nassau homicide detectives arrived at the Nassau Place location shortly before 10:15 a.m. and determined the death was not suspicious, Lt. Paul Johnson said.

No name was immediately available, but Johnson said the man was found by a friend who told someone else and that person reported it to police. The man appeared to have died in the last day or so, Johnson said.
